Can you play a samsung TV audio thru Sonace outdoor speakers wirelessly if using sonos AMP?  

My Sonos audio was skipping every few seconds so I reviewed all the blogs and tried to solve without success.  I went into the Samsung TV expert settings and solved the audio skipping by shutting off HDMI eArc Mode (see pic below).   

Buenos dias tengo una bocina Beam pero dejo de prender y ya hice todo lo que me decian y aun asi no prende que puedo hacer al respecto?

If one adds a track to an iTunes (‘Music’) playlist on a device running the Sonos App will it update a Sonos ‘Imported Playlist? 

Trying to determine the best place for some rears.  I currently have the Arc Ultra plus a sub.  Awkward room, I know.  Was thinking of placing them on that soffet behind the sofa and running power cables down to the outlets at each corner.  I’d rather not have anything on the walls however I have a feeling that’s the recommendation I’ll hear back.  Appreciate the guidance in advance.

The new system update included this:Authentication: This setting applies to third-party integrations that use Sonos cloud services and Local Area Network (LAN) APIs. When enabled, it requires those integrations to authenticate before connecting. Can someone please point me to any documentation for the aforementioned LAN APIs? developer.sonos.com covers SMAPI and the cloud API, but no mention of this LAN API.

Hi, can you help me?how to connect 2 roam 2 speakers via bluetooth?It could be even mono connection.

                                                                                                 Hello.    I have a question:      The new sonos amp, that is 125 watt per channel (for the wired ones), is it RMS or peak?    I did not buy the sonos amp yet. But I am planning to buy it soon. I will need to buy wired  speakers for it too.  But if it is RMS or peak the 125 watt power, actually there is a difference: of what kind of speekers I need to buy. And I explain:  The peak power is the 1/3 of the RMS power. That means   the 125 watt per channel,  if it is peak, it is  actually 40 watt RMS  per channel.That means I need to buy different set of speekers if it is actually 40 watt RMS or 125 watt RMS. Because if I buy speakers for amps that are actually 125 watt RMS, and the amp power is only 40 watt RMS, the amp will not be able to handle the speakers correctly,  when you put the volume a little bit higher.      This is why actually it matters the spec of the power of watts per channel,

sound output power for arc, arc ultra and sub gen 3 & 4

It was great to have a speaker without a mic 

Wanted to add another request to add the ability to use a pair of Sonos roams as surround speakers for Sonos beam gen 2 or any other bar.I think all Sonos owners who use this feature would be capable of enabling / disabling the feature manually without any software changes.I have seen suggested elsewhere that a good option could be the roams could enter surround mode when placed on charge if that is desired. 

I’ve been putting this off since the dreaded upgrade that got rid of my TimeCapsule on Sonos, Ive only been streaming since. I would like to access my local music library again. What are my best options?NAS, if so a good value one; music files are less than 2TBor USB into router - I am planning an upgrade on my broadband so will be flexible with provider that gives best router compatible with a USB/Sonos situation. If this is a good option, advice on a good USB drive/stick. Thanks 

Have a Beam + 2 x one SL acting as surround sound speakers + sub set up as 1 room connected to a Samsung TV via HDMI cable to ARC on TV & would like to add a further pair of one SL currently set up as additional room to the room containing the Beam etc. to enable all 6 speakers to be controlled by the TV remote - the TV remote currently only controls the volume on the Beam/surround/sub speakers Is it possible?

Hi Sonos family. Recently added gen3 sub to my collection. Running two subs now. Any advice on the best placement. Two either side of tv or horizontal? Any tweaking ideas to get the best sound possible? 

Hello, I was wondering i could get a little advice please.I previously had a Sonos playbar, set up with a optical cable that connected to an audio splitter box. On this box it has 3 hdmi inputs & 1 hdmi output. The PS5, media device & bluray player are the hdmi inputs - with the singular out put being a 4k epson projector. This set up has worked for me thus far with no issue with being able to change the hdmi’s whilst still having audio being sent to the playbar & associated sound surround. I must mention that the Optical cable is around 10-12m in length as its currently ran neatly around the room from place(soundbar) to place (projector).Now i have changed over to the Sonos Arc, I am a little perplexed as to how to proceed & would appreciate any advice available. Is there a way i can have the Sonos Arc connected to my already neatly ran optical cable & associated audio splitter box ? Am i best running a fresh HDMI cable from the Sonos Arc? But, if so - would i need

Good morning. Have a couple questions on placement in my new apartment and my speaker choices. I was recently blessed to have been gifted four era 300 to me by my employer.  (I know.  Lucky me!).  Anyway, I’d like to use these as music and theater set up. I was originally gonna put that two in the living room and then one each space throughout possibly the bedrooms?  Reading through some posts on this forum I’m getting kind of confused.  I’m even thinking of selling twoof the era 300s that I have and getting either a beam two and a sub, or just an arc sound bar. Any insight or help I’d appreciate it thanks guys. Or if there are any other articles in the community to point me in the direction that would be great. I will send you a picture of my layout of my apartment.  I have 2 of the Era 300’s set up in my living room currently and they sound unreal!!   

Hi Sonos Crew -I need some advice/help..?  I recently purchased 2 Wet Sounds VS-8 outdoor wall speakers for my backyard. I have them powered by a Sonos Amp from inside my house.  They are incredibly clear and loud.  Bass is pretty good, but I feel like they are overpowered but the horn loaded compression driver.  Still the best outdoor speakers I’ve owned.  So these face our pool area from the back of our house.    My issue is with the next set up.  I plan to install 3 Wet Sounds VS-6 in some large planter boxes we have surrounding our pool. This will be powered by a 2nd Sonos amp for pool area (so not the same amp that connects to outdoor wall VS-8 speakers). I will also have at least 1 of the 12 inch Wet Sounds outdoor subs buried in 1 of the planter boxes. Currently I have one VS-6 and one sub set up for a test trial. I feel like the sub just isn’t getting enough juice to really make it thump.  I’m thinking of buying another a 3rd Sonos Amp just to power the sub.  As of now I have a

Hi Everyone,Firstly I appreciate all your time in helping me figure out my system!To start, I will list the gear I have in this setup:Sonos Play1 (two) for left and right speaker surround sound Sonos Beam Gen1 directly under my TV  Sonos Connect Gen2 which connects to a basic record player from a company called U-Turn Audio, it does have a built in preamp that is usually switched on to strengthen the signal otherwise the volume level is quite low when a record is playingFirst question is with regards to an ethernet connection: does anything need to be connected to ethernet? Historically I have had at least one component connected to ethernet but as I understand it that is not a requirement outside of having a stronger mesh between your Sonos components.Second question deals with the Sonos Connect Gen2: I recently moved apartments and everything has been working except for the Connect which is connected to my record player (via RCA cable). After trying both input and output cable recept

I have the sonos ack and when I try to hook my cell phone to it it wants me to resign in as the owner even though I'm signed in is there 2 types ways to sign in

All of a sudden, on my last “update music library”  I get that an unexpected error occurred trying to import playlists.  The music that was recently added is there.  I have tried to read the various posts, but cannot figure out what I should actually do.  Never had this problem before, including when there used to be a problem with the new software finding the music on my Mac Studio.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mixcloud playlist are finally back!!!!!!

Hi,I have 5 pairs of sonos in ceiling/wall speakers connected to 5 sonos amps. What would be best configuration to create a surround experience in a room? Happy to add one or two sonos gen 3 subs to the system and add one or two sonos fives if that helps achieving high quality 3D spatial audio. I would like to not add a soundbar if possible.Could I even use more than two pairs of in-ceiling/in-wall speakers in one room as a surround setup? I have read entries about 4.1 or 4.2 setups by using a pair of sonos in-walls as front left and right and another pair as surround left and right -- utilizing only two pairs in one room. If I can use more than two pairs, could I add 3 pairs as front left and right and 2 pairs as surround left and right? Is Sonos planning to support a richer surround configuration experience? Is their lack of support a product/marketing strategy to prioritize selling their sonos eras and soundbars or is there a technical challenge they are not able to pass with the cu

Hi everyone,I have 5 pairs of Sonos in-ceiling/in-wall speakers, each connected to its own Sonos Amp. I’m exploring the best way to create a high-quality surround sound experience in a single room.I’m happy to add one or two Sonos Gen 3 Subs to enhance the setup, and I’m also open to adding one or two Sonos Fives if that helps achieve a better 3D or spatial audio feel. Ideally, I’d like to avoid using a soundbar if possible.A few specific questions: Can I use more than two pairs of in-ceiling/in-wall speakers in one room as part of a true surround setup? I’ve read about 4.1 or 4.2 configurations using one pair as front L/R and another as surround L/R — but could I push this further? For example, could I use three pairs as front L/R and two pairs as surrounds? Is Sonos planning to support richer surround configurations in the future? Is this a limitation due to technical reasons, or more of a product/marketing strategy to encourage soundbar and Era speaker sales? Lastly, would it

I have an Arc paired with a sub and 2 Sonos 1’s, however can I add 2 additional Play 1’s (for a total of 4 surround)?
